interested in being part of an electronic arts event? - UK/Ireland members!

How many of you would be into performing live at an even up in North Wales? There'd be no pay for it, just promotion and exposure. I'm thinking of setting up an electronic arts music event (music/visuals etc etc) nothing like a rave BTW, more focused on the creative aspect of hings so it'd be a good opportunity to showcase skills and unique approaches/techniques an so on.
I get that money will be factor for some people, as the event would be staged as a first time i don't have the funds to potentially lose putting it on, but if the event did make money I'd want to split anything equally amongst everyone involved.

In terms of accommodation for artists/those taking part I would look after that so there shouldn't be that expense.

There will be a full set up so artist need just turn up with what gear they need to make noise and that'd be it. PA and the like would be there. The idea is to have an event that people can access electronic art and vice-versa, it'd be a daytime and evening/might thing. So it'd be focused on getting people involved, workshops, A/V experienced and whatnot too on top of performances, I'd like to try get not just electronic music art but visual and maybe even other sensory stuff too - as long as it's focused on creativity, accessibility and the art
This is something I'm looking into funding and grants for right now

well i've been looking into grant funding for such a thing since earlier, and it seems that such an event should easily qualify, so depending on the grants and funding i can secure, anything could be possible

Actually I might be able to add to this somehow. Whats the time frame on this happening? If I get time between cousework and the little 'un I could knock up something in Max, like an interactive A/V thing or even an introduction to DSP/building your own audio devices. I'm not much of a talker but I think I could make it speak for itself.

Maybe...

The earliest I can see this happening is late August, if it grows as big as I can see it maybe becoming (this depends on getting those grants and funding) then maybe spring/early summer next year, I'd rather it be awesome and worth doing every year or touring with the idea than be a half arsed thing that was cool and nobody does again. I've got some pretty big ideas alongside tech smaller ones so at the moment I'm really putting out the feelers as to what interest there is and what direction it is feasible to go in.
Then will come structure and planning for the event and grant applications and then the event itself when everything is happily in place

A good pony kind of raised there too is artist don't necessarily have to be physically in attendance, it'd be cool to have small installations as part of it too, so as an example someone in say the US could make an A/V piece that would only need to be projected or screened. The added bonus of the venue I have in mind is that it also has a rather shit hot 3D cinema facility with pretty damn good sound too
